Konigswinter

Tucked along the Rhine beneath the wooded slopes of the Siebengebirge, Königswinter is a town whose character is shaped by the river and the volcanic hills rising immediately behind it. The Drachenfels, one of the Rhine’s best-known heights, crowns the ridge above town; its ruined medieval castle is closely tied to the legends of the dragon-slayer Siegfried. Below, Schloss Drachenburg is an elaborate late-19th-century villa built in historicist style. A riverside promenade, passenger boats and rail links keep Königswinter closely connected with Bonn and the wider Middle Rhine corridor.
